Method Detail

stepInit

public void stepInit()

Initialize the step

Specified by:

stepInit in interface BaseStepExtender

Specified by:

stepInit in interface Step

getIncomingConnectionTypes

public java.util.List<java.lang.String> getIncomingConnectionTypes()

Get a list of incoming connection types that this step can accept. Ideally (and if appropriate), this should take into account the state of the step and any existing incoming connections. E.g. a step might be able to accept one (and only one) incoming batch data connection.

Specified by:

getIncomingConnectionTypes in interface BaseStepExtender

Specified by:

getIncomingConnectionTypes in interface Step

Returns:

a list of incoming connections that this step can accept given its current state

getOutgoingConnectionTypes

public java.util.List<java.lang.String> getOutgoingConnectionTypes()

Get a list of outgoing connection types that this step can produce. Ideally (and if appropriate), this should take into account the state of the step and the incoming connections. E.g. depending on what incoming connection is present, a step might be able to produce a trainingSet output, a testSet output or neither, but not both.

Specified by:

getOutgoingConnectionTypes in interface BaseStepExtender

Specified by:

getOutgoingConnectionTypes in interface Step

Returns:

a list of outgoing connections that this step can produce

processIncoming

public void processIncoming(Data data)
                     throws WekaException

Process an incoming data payload (if the step accepts incoming connections)

Specified by:

processIncoming in interface BaseStepExtender

Specified by:

processIncoming in interface Step

Overrides:

processIncoming in class BaseStep

Parameters:

data - the data to process

Throws:

WekaException - if a problem occurs

getInteractiveViewers

public java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> getInteractiveViewers()

When running in a graphical execution environment a step can make one or more popup Viewer components available. These might be used to display results, graphics etc. Returning null indicates that the step has no such additional graphical views. The map returned by this method should be keyed by action name (e.g. "View results"), and values should be fully qualified names of the corresponding StepInteractiveView implementation. Furthermore, the contents of this map can (and should) be dependent on whether a particular viewer should be made available - i.e. if execution hasn't occurred yet, or if a particular incoming connection type is not present, then it might not be possible to view certain results. Viewers can implement StepInteractiveView directly (in which case they need to extends JPanel), or extends the AbstractInteractiveViewer class. The later extends JPanel, uses a BorderLayout, provides a "Close" button and a method to add additional buttons.

Specified by:

getInteractiveViewers in interface Step

Overrides:

getInteractiveViewers in class BaseStep

Returns:

a map of viewer component names, or null if this step has no graphical views

getResults

public java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> getResults()

Get the textual results stored in this step

Returns:

a map of results

retrieveData

public java.lang.Object retrieveData()

Get the results stored in this step. Calls getResults()

Specified by:

retrieveData in interface DataCollector

Returns:

the results (a map of named textual results) as an Object

restoreData

public void restoreData(java.lang.Object data)

Restore/set the data in this step

Specified by:

restoreData in interface DataCollector

Parameters:

data - the data to set (is expected to be a map of Strings)

setTextNotificationListener

public void setTextNotificationListener(TextViewer.TextNotificationListener l)

Set the listener to be notified about new textual results

Parameters:

l - the listener to receive notifications

removeTextNotificationListener

public void removeTextNotificationListener(TextViewer.TextNotificationListener l)

Remove the listener for textual results

Parameters:

l - the listener to remove
